Surface-adsorbed active species are intermediates with strong activities in heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Effective stabilization of these intermediates is crucial to improve the catalytic performance. Here, we demonstrated highly active bimetallic palladium–indium (Pd–In) nanoparticles (NPs) that can stabilize atomic H* on the surface and show efficient electrocatalytic reduction performance toward bromate. The optimal atomic ratio of Pd to In was investigated with the aim of efficient formation and strong stabilization of H*, thus facilitating the reduction and decontamination of carcinogenic bromate. Pd2In3was the most active catalyst, with a high rate constant of 0.029 min–1, whereas the rate constant for monometallic Pd NPs was only 0.009 min–1. Density functional theory calculations suggest that Pd2In3NPs decrease the work function and provide strong H* stabilization ability. By employing a flow-through electrode coated with Pd2In3NPs to enhance the mass transport, the utilization of H* could be boosted and the reduction kinetics increased up to 7.5 times.
